App Review

If you are one of those players who never leave home without their smartphone and you also like to play on the go, you should definitely consider to download the partypoker free poker app available for iOS* and Android** devices.

The partypoker free mobile poker app gives immediate access to all the Texas hold’em tables available in the room both in play and real money mode, and also offers players the chance to try FastForward, partypoker's appreciated fast-fold poker variant.

Also, the app includes a very handy "Quick Seat" function, that allows players to find the best table to play at based on the numbers of players, the stakes and the game type they prefer – all really in a matter of seconds.

Overall, here’s what we liked the most about partypoker's mobile app:

FastForward games are available

The "Quick Seat" function lets you play poker within seconds – litterally

In-app withdrawals are allowed

Hands history is available from the "Info" menu

It works on WiFi, 4G and 3G

It’s available for all Android and iOS devices

Open an account on partypoker now (you can do that from the app too!) via PokerNews and you will immediately be awarded with a 100% match up to $500 on your first deposit!

In March 2011, PartyGaming and sports betting giant bwin merged to create bwin.party Digital Entertainment, the world’s largest publicly listed gaming company. In September 2013, partypoker launched a new "social" poker software that incorporates a number of features designed to attract new and casual players. These include player achievements and the ability to easily see what your partypoker friends have recently been up to.

Since February 2016, partypoker's parent company, bwin.party entertainment, has been owned by GVC Holdings who purchased the company for more than $1 billion.

Games Offered at partypoker

Hold'em and Omaha cash games running from $0.01/$0.02 and increasing up to $5/$10 for Omaha, and $25/$50 for Hold'em. Stud and Stud Hi/Low cash games are also available, but these games run infrequently.

partypoker's take on fast-fold poker is called fastforward poker and is available in no limit Hold'em and pot-limit Omaha form, and with stakes ranging from $0.05/$0.10 up to $2/$5.

When playing fastforward - once you fold your hole cards, you are instantly whisked away to a new table with new opponents and a fresh set of hole cards. If you don't like your new cards, you can throw them away and keep folding until you find a hand that you feel comfortable with.

partypoker has put a lot of effort into revamping its tournament schedule, there is now $10 million guaranteed every week.

Three major online festivals run at various points throughout the year. POWERFEST is partypoker's flagship festival and sees hundreds of tournaments with buy-ins of $1.10 to $25,500 over the course of a couple of weeks. The Monster Series is partypoker' low-to-mid stakes festival that usually has buy-ins of $0.44 to $33 yet still features some large guaranteed prize pools. Rounding off the trio of series is the KO Series which focuses on progressive knockout tournaments.

partypoker also has "jackpot sit and go tournaments" called Sit & Go Hero. These fast-paced games give you the chance to win potentially huge prizes of up to $1.02 million in a matter of minutes and for a relatively small buy-in.
